The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 447 Golden Ring of Affection
"Shui Shui."

When Zhu Xiu woke up, she had a splitting headache and a dry mouth. She stroked her forehead and felt that her eyelids were heavy and it was difficult to open them. She could only murmur in a low voice with difficulty, uttering the first words after waking up from a hangover.

In the blurred vision, a cup of warm chrysanthemum tea was handed to him. Zhu Xiu supported his body and tried to sit up, but he could feel a cool little hand trying to support his back.

"Thank you~"

Zhu Xiu sat up on the bed, took the chrysanthemum tea with both hands, drank it down, patted her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just now when she was serving tea, she touched those cool and soft hands. Zhu Xiu closed her eyes and murmured: "Is it Yan'er? Hmm~ I don't think I know, it must be Ehuang."

For a while, there was no sound and no one answered. Zhu Xiu rubbed his eyes, dug out a lump of yellow secretion from the corner of his eyes, reluctantly opened his eyes, and looked around in confusion.

The room is antique, elegantly and decently decorated, low-key yet luxurious, showing that the owner's style is quite high.

Zhu Xiu was startled, and then realized that she was not in the Hou's house.

Ma Qing doesn't have such a high sense of aesthetics and vision to decorate a bedroom so pleasing to the eye.

This guy wants to pile up gold, silver, jade, antiques and treasures everywhere in the mansion. Even the door handles of the toilet stalls are inlaid with jade. He just has to engrave the words "The Hou Mansion is not short of money" into a plaque. .

He gave up after being scolded severely by Zhu Xiu, otherwise a mansion with a long history would be completely changed by him, revealing the tackiness of the nouveau riche.

Moving his eyes to the left, he found a slim woman sitting on the stool next to the bed, looking at him with a smile but not a smile.

The woman is wearing a purple half-arm skirt, a bun with a tassel hanging from the middle of her forehead, pearl earrings hanging from her ears, and a gold pendant on her fair neck. She is really beautiful.

"Uh"

When their eyes met, Zhu Xiu could clearly see the woman's appearance. She turned out to be Fu Jinhuan.

Zhu Xiu pulled the quilt up to her chest, swallowed her saliva and whispered, "Could it be that I stayed at the Huaiyang Prince's Mansion last night?"

Fu Jinhuan smiled and nodded.

Zhu Xiu's eyes widened and she said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that I got drunk last night and broke into the second wife's boudoir, and you and I spent the night together in the same bed?"

Fu Jinhuan's cheeks were flushed, he spat lightly and said jokingly: "If this is really the case, how will you treat me?"

Zhu Xiu was so frightened that she quickly opened the quilt and looked at her lower body. She saw that the robe had been removed, but the white shirt inside was still intact.

Fu Jinhuan was startled, as if he understood why he was nervous, and he dug his eyes out in embarrassment.

"This is the guest room in the west wing of the palace. The pavilion where I live is in the back house. If you have the guts, come with me!"

Fu Jinhuan laughed mockingly.

Zhu Xiu got off the bed, put on her outer robe, sat on the edge of the bed and put on her socks, and said with a smile: "Don't you dare? I have no name and no status. How dare I break into the second wife's boudoir? If Brother Fu knows about it, he will have to interrupt me. leg!"

Fu Jinhuan snorted and murmured in a low voice: "Brother is eager to wander in~"

"What did the second lady say?" Zhu Xiu blinked.

"Nothing!" Fu Jinhuan's eyes flickered, he changed the topic and said angrily: "Could it be that the Yan'er you were talking about in a daze just now is Shi Lingyan? Then who is Ehuang?"

Zhu Xiugan smiled and said: "It's an old servant who serves me."

"Seriously?" Fu Jinhuan looked suspicious. Ehuang was clearly a girl's maiden name.

Seeing Zhu Xiu's eyes dodge again, she knew that he was not telling the truth, so she clenched her teeth angrily.

I served tea and took care of her with good intentions, but this bad guy called another woman's name. It was really sad and angry.

Fu Jinhuan knew that he had no right to interfere with Zhu Xiu's personal affairs, so he could only give him a hard look and sulked secretly.

Zhu Xiu put on her socks and said carefully: "Second wife, I didn't make any jokes last night, right?"

Fu Jinhuan's eyes were watery, and he pursed his lips and smiled coquettishly: "You really don't remember?"

Zhu Xiu tried his best to think back and shook his head in distress. He had really lost his drink.

Fu Jinhuan chuckled and said, "You were very drunk last night. You hugged your father and brother and sang. You cried like ghosts and howled like wolves. Your voice was miserable. Sometimes you were like killing a pig, and sometimes you were like a ghost. You were so noisy that everyone in the palace came to watch the fun."

Zhu Xiu opened her eyes wide and slapped her forehead, "Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed. I've been thrown into my grandma's house."

"Father and elder brother are not much better, the three of you hugged together, first you sang that everything is broken together, there is no need to cut the grass; sit and listen to the triumphant song, and you will be relieved.
Then you led the two of them to sing about the eighteen bends on the mountain road, and Miss Lin fell from the sky.
You sang something else later. I couldn’t hear it clearly. It seemed like it was called Shiba Mo."

Fu Jinhuan's laughter is like a silver bell, and his face is like a peach blossom, which is extremely moving.

Zhu Xiu had no intention of appreciating this beauty. Her legs were trembling and weak, and she wanted to slap herself twice.It's so embarrassing, it's so embarrassing!

But fortunately, with Fu Yanqing and Fu Zhaoxin as the foils, the couple probably won't be much better off.

Zhu Xiu stroked her chest and murmured, "It's a good thing it was just singing and didn't do anything out of the ordinary."

Fu Jinhuan said with a smile: "Yes! You hugged my daddy and shouted affectionately to each other. Dad also called you a good son-in-law, and it took three or five servants to pull you apart."

"." Zhu Xiu covered his face with his hands, feeling ashamed.

Fu Jinhuan pretended to be angry and said, "You ruined my reputation. How should I settle this account?"

Zhu Xiu glanced at her and saw that this girl had a rosy face and a smile in her eyes. She spread her hands and said, "You can't let me pledge myself to you, right?"

Fu Jinhuan laughed out loud, pretending to be disgusted and said: "It's not impossible, I will suffer a little loss and have to take you out of my own way!"

As she spoke, her cheeks became more and more rosy, like a ripe peach, with juice flowing out when pinched.

Zhu Xiuwei said, "But how did I hear that when the second lady was in Jingzhou, she once made a great wish for the eldest lady? If one day she falls in love with Zhu, she will stand on the Emperor's Tower of Wufeng Tower and watch over the whole city of Kaifeng. The people announced that they would not marry someone other than Zhu."

Zhu Xiu glanced at the stunned young lady and smiled strangely: "Oh, that's all. I'm afraid the second lady can't afford to embarrass this person. I can't embarrass the second lady. It's better not to mention this matter again!"

Zhu Xiu chuckled, cupped her hands and prepared to leave the room.

"Stop!" Fu Jinhuan yelled loudly, clenched his fists, and said angrily: "I am true to my word, and I will definitely do what I said!"

Zhu Xiu turned his back to her, was silent for a moment, and sighed softly: "Zhu Xiu is so honored to be favored by the second lady! But I have already made a promise to others, and I am afraid that I will let down the second lady's affection! If there is a chance in the future, "

Zhu Xiu paused and sighed: "That's all, let's not talk about the future. Maybe this is fate."

Zhu Xiu said no more, opened the guest room door and left quickly.

Fu Jinhuan stood in the room blankly, his body trembling slightly and his fists clenched tightly.

She clearly remembered the scene when she and Zhu Xiu galloped their horses on the vast grassland in late autumn outside Chanzhou City half a year ago.

At that time, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and young men and women were playing and chasing each other wantonly.

In the huge hibiscus flowerbed, the eldest sister and the Duke of Taiyuan embraced each other in love.

Outside the flower garden, her and Zhu Xiu's hearts were close to each other for the first time.

At that time, she saw strong admiration in Zhu Xiu's eyes.

"You bastard, I will never believe that you don't have any connection with me. It's clearly an excuse! The man in my golden ring will never let go!"

Fu Jinhuan waved her fist hard and gritted her teeth. This time, she would fight for herself no matter what!

Zhu Xiu originally wanted to sneak away without saying hello, but unfortunately he was caught by the palace steward, who said that the old prince and the eldest man were having breakfast in the front hall and invited him over.

Zhu Xiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

In the hall, there was still the big round table. Fu Yanqing and Fu Zhaoxin were sitting upright, drinking porridge slowly, looking like they were peacefully passing through the years.

Compared with last night's drunken brawl, they were completely different.

"My nephew is here. Let's drink some porridge to clear our stomach." Fu Yanqing smiled kindly.

Fu Zhaoxin filled a bowl of porridge for him. Zhu Xiu thanked him and sat down beside him. He smelled the aroma and felt really hungry.

"Did you sleep well last night, dear brother?" Fu Zhaoxin asked with a smile.

"Very good!" Zhu Xiugong raised his hand.

The three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and never mentioned what happened last night.

"I heard that my second sister went to Brother Xian's house early in the morning. I wonder how the two of you talked about it?" Fu Zhaoxin winked at him.

"Ahem~" Zhu Xiu almost choked and said vaguely: "It's okay, it's okay."

Fu Yanqing and Fu Zhaoxin looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

After finishing breakfast quietly, Zhu Xiu was about to get up and leave. Fu Zhaoxin suddenly grabbed Zhu Xiu and whispered: "Brother Xian, can you teach me the Eighteen Touches you sang last night? Next time I go to Xunfang Lou, if you sing a song for your brother, you will definitely be able to calm those little prodigals!"

Fu Zhaoxin's eyebrows were beaming. He was obviously a tall and handsome man with a body full of tendons, but at this moment he was extremely wretched.

Zhu Xiu subconsciously looked at Fu Yanqing. The old prince coughed dryly, pretended not to hear anything, got up and walked away with his hands behind his back.

In an instant, Zhu Xiu understood that the reason why the two of them kept him for breakfast was probably because of the song "Eighteen Touches".
